8 Goose Decor Finds Turning Up at HomeGoods, Hobby Lobby, and More
If you’re new to the porch goose trend, let us fill you in. The idea of adding a goose statue dressed in costume (often a yellow raincoat) to the front of one’s home was popularized in the Midwest in the 1980s. Its recent comeback is said to be driven by Gen Zers and Millennials yearning for nostalgia and something fun amid fraught times.
“Things are pretty bleak out there,” 35-year-old Philadelphia resident Allison Roddy told The Spokesman-Review about her newfound obsession with porch geese. “This is a way for us to just laugh at ourselves and maybe not take ourselves so seriously. I think millennials are coming into our own; we’re done with the ‘millennial gray,’ and now we want whimsy and dressed-up porch geese.”
Many people are finding authentic porch geese at thrift stores or on resale sites like eBay, where they’re going for upwards of $100. But you can find new, cheaper versions at stores like Hobby Lobby, HomeGoods, and Walmart. And these retailers aren’t stopping there: They’ve fully jumped on the goose decor train, with porch goose outfits, doormats, and more. Read on for all the best finds you can grab in the lead-up to spring.

Hobby Lobby Porch Goose
If you’re hoping for a deal on a traditional porch goose, look no further than Hobby Lobby. The decently sized waterfowl typically retail for $80, but they’re currently on sale for 40 percent off, bringing them down to $48. But take note: These are selling fast, and they’re not available online.
TikToker @breannaray13 shared the deal with her followers, noting that the geese are “such good quality.” They’re also the perfect stature to dress up!

Porch Geese Family at Walmart
Why stop at just one porch goose? Walmart’s geese come in two different sizes, so you can dress up a mama or papa goose and a child. The larger, 23-inch goose is $41, and the smaller 17-inch bird is $32. Both are made of lightweight plastic but have a rubber stopper on the bottom, so you can fill them with sand for added stability.
If you’re shopping in-store at Walmart, you’ll have better luck finding the Mainstays 19-inch porch goose, which retails for just $20.

Giant Mother Goose Statue at HomeGoods

The large size will cost you a bit more, though: It retails for $70.
And if you fear Mother Goose might get lonely, fear not: HomeGoods also has her husband, wearing an adorable top hat and bow tie, for the same price.
